Segmented Bottle Stopper #17

Visit my Etsy store to see the available wine bottle stoppers

Project Description
This segemented stopper is my fourth completed project in my June 2009 “30 Projects in 30 Days” challenge. Building these stoppers has been a lot of fun for me. Each design element allows for a number of alternatives by using different species of wood. For this design I used an open segmentation technique as the highlight. The upper portion of this stopper is hollow.

Considering that each stopper takes several hours to build and turn, I take great joy in knowing that no two stoppers are the same.
